Logitech Harmony Companion Remote Control - Black: Customize every connected device in your home with Logitech's Harmony Companion. Integrating lights.

Almost there, the Elite might be the remote for me Coming from a Harmony 650, this is a big step up, mainly wanted for the Bluetooth control options. Smart home control, double bonus. At the same time, coming from the 650 I feel a little short changed. I wish I could select a device and control it with out reaching for my phone or tablet. I'm also not the norm.

I have an extensive entertainment system that includes 2 TV's with a ton of peripherals. I knew I would need to keep my 650 around, but I'm reaching for it more often than I thought I would be. One of those things, you don't realize how much you use something until you don't have it. The system does everything you would want and more, the remote comes up just a bit short. Setting Hue lights when starting a movie is great, just wish you could have the lights get brighter when you pause.

Maybe I can, haven't gone deep into macro's. I think the Elite will be a future upgrade and this will make a great replacement for the 650 in my Living room. The remote is very well laid out, back light would be nice but you get a feel for it real fast, not having to point the remote at the tv is another bonus. Overall great system.

Remote falls just short, but it's by design. Keeping things simple for everyday use. Responsive and simple (with extra blaster) I have owned a Harmony 900 which helped me understand how to set up the remote because the information that comes with the product is pretty minimal.

Simply put, the remote you see in the picture is all I needed (it sends radio frequency RF signals to the hub (also pictured) which then sends IR signals to your devices, What isn't clear on the box is that you get one 'blaster' which supplements the hub in sending signals to components that are not in the line of sight of the hub (ie on a different shelf in a closed cabinet). Therefore if you have a cable box and apple tv on one shelf, and receiver on another in the closed cabinet, plus the TV on the wall you need to have the hub on one shelf, a blaster on another, and a second (non-included) blaster for the TV because the remote doesn't send IR signals. I had an extra blaster from my Harmony 900 which thankfully worked. I did not set up the smart phone app as I think it is totally unnecessary for a straightforward AV setup. Setup was easy, and the unit is quicker than my 900 and seems very stable in everything it does. I would have given it 5 stars had it not been for the lack of clarity noted above. It Works Great!

I have bought three of these items (for use in the bedroom, basement, and living room). I have my Smart Hubs no greater than 7 feet from the AV devices.

I didn't use the IR extenders. You need a decent WIFI signal for the Smart Hub to work responsively with the IOS devices.

Runing the IOS app on various iPhones and iPads. App is definitely slower on older iPhones (ex. IPhone 4), but relatively fast on an iPhone SE. Interface is a little clunky, but much better on an iPad. I only use the myHarmony app on PC to programs macros (or as they call it, 'Activities'); even built an activity called:'Watch NHL. Coca Cola Add Ringtone Mp3 on this page. TV' to turn on the TV, switch to the correct TV input, turn on soundbar, switch to the correct soundbar input, turn on an Apple TV and launch the NHL.TV app. Supplied remote is nothing great, but we use the IOS devices to control things anyways. Only negative is trying to program in non-common devices (ex.

A HDMI switch box). Frustrating and unreliable This worked so badly that I'm left wondering if I have a defective product. Red Devil Groove Box Keygen Idm. The set up is painful because the iPhone app is ridiculously slow.

The software on my laptop was barely better and clunky to use. Once I did get things set up the remote would only work directly in front of the cabinet door and would take 3-4 tries before one or two components would respond. This project is two hours of my life spent fighting with this system that I can't get back. It's going back tomorrow.

Just buy it, you won't regret it. If you know harmony remotes, the setup is a breeze.

Much simpler than in the past. All changes synch wirelessly, there is no need to connect a usb cable. The remote itself is super nice. I was worried about not having a screen, but in reality I do not miss a screen at all. Not having to aim or point the remote is an added bonus.
